Alexey Borisovich Okulov’s professional career was inextricably linked with St. Vladimir’s Children’s City Clinical Hospital (formerly I.V. Rusakov City Clinical Hospital No. 2) and the Russian Medical Academy of Continuing Postgraduate Education (formerly the Central Institute for Advanced Medical Education). Alexey Borisovich Okulov was, without exaggeration, a living legend of the Russian school of pediatric surgery and was one of the first in the development of a number of its areas―laparoscopy, neuroendocrine surgery, urology and andrology. Thus, based on the results of his work in the field of reproductology, a new direction was identified―pediatric androgynecology―and a new specialty―pediatric urologist-andrologist, which was subsequently included in the official list of positions of medical and pharmaceutical workers by order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. According to colleagues, he was a charming, modest, thoughtful and reliable man, a great hard worker, but the reviews of patients and their parents speak best about his talent as a doctor: “an excellent surgeon”, “an experienced, knowledgeable doctor”, “attentive, fatherly kind”, as well as gratitude for his golden hands. Alexey Borisovich went through a wonderful life path and left us a rich surgical legacy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>1 августа 2025 года на 88-м году жизни скончался Алексей Борисович Окулов, доктор медицинских наук, профессор, член редколлегии журнала «Детская хирургия».</p> <p>Профессиональный путь Алексея Борисовича Окулова был неразрывно связан с Детской городской клинической больницей святого Владимира (ранее Городская клиническая больница № 2 имени И.В. Русакова) и Российской медицинской академией непрерывного последипломного образования (ранее Центральный институт усовершенствования врачей). Алексей Борисович Окулов без преувеличений являлся живой легендой отечественной школы детской хирургии и был одним из первых в развитии ряда её направлений ― лапароскопии, нейроэндокринной хирургии, урологии-андрологии. Так, по результатам его работ в области репродуктологии были выделены новое направление ― педиатрическая андрогинекология ― и новая специальность ― детский уролог-андролог, включённая впоследствии приказом Министерства здравоохранения Российской Федерации в официальный перечень должностей медицинских и фармацевтических работников.</p> <p>По словам коллег, это был обаятельный, скромный, вдумчивый и надёжный человек, большой труженик, но лучше всего о его таланте врача говорят отзывы пациентов и их родителей: «прекрасный хирург», «опытный, знающий врач», «внимательный, по-отечески добрый», а также благодарности за его золотые руки.</p> <p>Алексей Борисович прошёл замечательный жизненный путь и оставил нам богатейшее хирургическое наследие.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Alexey Borisovich Okulov</kwd><kwd>pediatric surgery</kwd><kwd>urology-andrology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Алексей Борисович Окулов</kwd><kwd>детская хирургия</kwd><kwd>урология-андрология</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Yudin YaB, Okulov A, Zuev YuE, Sakhovsky AF.
